Which mouse to get?

post #1 of 22

Thread Starter 
Hey,

My mouse started acting up a couple days ago and it keeps disconnecting, freezing, and what not.
Seeing as is a pretty old generic logitech mouse I decided to just buy a new one. An actual decent one this time.

I mostly play FPS, don't know if that's relevant.

These are pretty much the choises that I have http://azerty.nl/producten/zoek?GROEP_ID=1071&p_tab=36&v_uitgebreid=off&PAGINA=1&SORTERING=prijs_asc&presentatie=miniatuur-lijst I don't want to spend a lot, though.


Suggestions? Thanks!


Oh PS: I've seen some comparison pictures between the different mouse grips, and I think I'm a palm grip kind of guy. Though, it sometimes looks like something in between, not palm, but not full claw either, but that might be because I'm using a relatively small mouse atm.

I have a razor naga i know its a mmo mouse but it just works well in fps games as well. I can seemlessly switch between my main weapon and side arm/ medkit/nades. I mapped my steady button for my sniper rifle to it also.

If you have big hands (as in paws) and aren't likely to be lifting your mouse often I highly recommend the R.A.T. 7. Its sort of a controversial piece of hardware as it can be a little weird if you are using a smooth surface and can suffer from lift-off cursor movement and/or lag with some surfaces as well. They're a bit finicky I'll admit, but once you get it configured the way you want and find a surface you're happy with they are without doubt the most comfortable and predictable mice I've ever had the pleasure of using (and that's an embarrassingly long list). The unique button you can hold down to reduce the dpi also works great for sniping in FPS games or detail work in Photoshop.

A little bit to pricy for me.

To be honest, It looks way to bulky and I really can't justifyn spending that much on a mouse.

Deathadder is always the answer to that question. Unless you have a problem with its shape, or your hands are too small, there's no going wrong with it.
